are you referring to the header problem?
if so, just edit home_header and change it to suit your site.

[KeneticKangaroo]

hey, i installed tis before and im just reinstalling it, when i go to the vbindex page it loads ok and just above the header it says

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk/httpdocs/vbindex.php:2) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk/httpdocs/admin/functions.php on line 1573

I just upgraded to 2.1 and things seem to load faster but I have 2 issues...

1) The news section doesn't include a synopsis of the news item just the title and avatar of the user...

2) I can't remember or find out how to add links to the left side for more pages.

Thanks for any help!!

1st of all: Everything works great!

In fact, everything is working so well that I am forced to try to split the "Latest Posts" list into categories. Is there a way to point the list to a single top-level forum and all of its sub-forums?

I guess I need something like this:


Latest Corporate Posts (this actually would need to concatonate from several top-level forums)

Latest Plant 1 Posts

Latest Plant 2 Posts

Latest Plant 3 Posts


Any help would be adored.
